It is my first time going into scenic mountain ranges of the north Luzon.
It was our family vacation trip.
When we are already on the road, I slept and later woke up in a dark mountain roads. I can see the stars glowing brightly than when I'm in my roof back in the city. The air pollution there is low so you can see them clearly.

We rent a cabin type mountain house that has an overlooking view of the mountain ranges. We ate our breakfast in a cold weather. After that we go to the famous waterfalls in the province. We hiked for 30-40 minutes to get to that waterfalls. We walk in the rice terraces and villages. We are greeted by friendly and welcoming natives there. As you walk, all you can see are just green and blue color which is the color of rice terraces and the color of the sky. The temperature that day is quite hot but I didn't notice that because the wind is still cold. As we arrived, many tourists are already there swimming, capturing photos and having a picnic beside the majestic waterfall I've ever seen in my life. When we go back home, We hiked for 15 minutes then ride a jeepney. We sat in the roof of the jeepney to continue seeing the beauty of the province. When we got home, we ate local lunch. Then we take a quick break after that we go to the burial caves to see those old coffins that is piled and stocked up in the caves. Then, what we did was a near death experience for me. We go down to the biggest cave and it was hard because of the slippery stones. We got in the bottom of the cave, we take pictures in rock formations. This is the scary part where I nearly died of...
